If the drive is mounted, unmount the drive:

umount </dev/DEVICENAME>

where </dev/DEVICENAME> is the device name of the USB flash

If the USB flash drive was automatically mounted (and subsequently
unmounted), use the device name assigned by Linux in the steps
below.

b

If the USB flash drive was

not previously mounted, generate a dmesg

log to show the newly connected devices.

Enter:

dmesg

Examine the log messages to determine the device name for the USB flash
drive.

7 Write the image from the CD-ROM to the USB flash drive:

dd bs=1M if=<SLETC update> of=</dev/DEVICENAME>

where <SLETC update> is the name of the SLETC image on the
CD-ROM (for example:
/media/Novell_SLETC_for_Dell/Novell-SLETC-10-SP2-

1-for-Dell.raw

), and </dev/DEVICENAME> is the device name

of the USB flash drive.

8 When the write operation is complete, remove the USB flash drive from

the Linux system and use it to re-image the FX160 computer (see
"Re-Imaging SLETC on an FX160 Computer With a USB Flash Drive" on
page 10).
